Portrait of Pound
, 1906 and 1908 went to Europe four times. 1908 settled in London and later became an important figure in London literature. 1908, Pound's first book of poetry, ALumeSpento, was published at his own expense in Venice, Italy. 1909, his poetry collection "Personae" was published in London. 19 10 years, his poetry collection "Romantic Spirit" was published. The contents of the anthology are mainly his early translations and the achievements and opinions of his academic research over the years. Pound showed his originality and profound knowledge in his early poems. 19 12 became a London-based reporter for the Chicago small magazine Poetry. He married DorothyShakespeare in 19 14.
19 15, Pound published his English version of China's ancient poem China and two japanese theatre collections according to the manuscript of Oriental scholar Fenolosa. During his stay in London, he also published two other works: Homagetosextus Propertives (1919) and Hughselwynmauberley (1920). 192 1 year, Pound moved to Paris, 1924, and moved to Labalo in the southeast of Genoa.
During his stay in Paris and London, he not only continued to write, but also explored and cultivated talents and made extensive friends with European and American literary circles, making a unique contribution to breaking the silence of British and American literature, especially British and American poetry, and promoting the "revival" of American literature. He had extensive contacts with sculptors, painters and musicians, and played a very important role in the formation and development of modernism in Europe and America. From 19 14 to 19 16, Pound had close contacts with Irish poet Ye Zhi. He admired Ye Zhi and took Ye Zhi as his teacher. Ye Zhi was also influenced by him to some extent. Pound helped James Joyce to publish Portrait of Young Artists, Apotla Ito Fatista Ayounman and Ulysses, and helped Eliot to sort out and abridge the first draft of The Waste Land, and recommended it to the publishing house for publication. He met Hemingway in Paris and helped him publish his first book.
After 1924 left Paris, on the eve of World War II, Pound's attention gradually shifted from literary creation to capitalist political and economic issues. While creating literature, he wrote some articles on social criticism. This paper discusses poverty and prosperity, war and peace, unemployment and usury, and criticizes the erosion of people's thoughts by materialism and industrialism. It is hard to understand that the study of these problems eventually led Pound to embark on the road of anti-Semitism, praising Mussolini's fascist national socialism.
During the Second World War, Pound made hundreds of radio speeches on Rome Radio, criticizing American war actions, attacking Roosevelt's war policy, praising Mussolini, and arguing that Mussolini's policy of governing the country could promote a society free from greed and usury. Pound was charged with treason in 1943 for the above reasons. 1944 was captured by American troops and imprisoned in Pisa, Italy. He was taken to Washington for trial at 1945. Later, he was declared insane and was exempted from trial. From then on, Pound spent more than ten years in a mental hospital. During his detention, Pound continued to translate Confucius' works and wrote Chapter 7 1-84 of Pisa. 1949 This work was awarded by the Library of Congress and reviewed by Eliot, which caused great controversy in the United States. 1958, through the mediation of ArchibaldMcLeish, RobertFrost and ErnestHemingway, Pound was acquitted of treason without trial and returned to Italy. 1972 1 1 died in Venice.
Before and after Pound was released, some of his works continued to be published. These works include letterfezrapound (1907-1941), literaliesays (1954+0954) and selected essays (1909-).
